away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g
)Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE

SAFETY WARNINGS COMMON FOR GRINDING, SANDING,
WIRE BRUSHING OR ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, wire brush, sander or cut-
off tool. Read all safety warning instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Operations such as polishing are
not recommended to be performed with this power tool. Operations for which the
power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
b) Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and

the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
e) The arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must
properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with arbor holes that do
not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss of control.
f) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such
as abrasive wheel for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess
wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped,
inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of
the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one
minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.
